The north wind blew all night, and when I got up early, the weather was cold, the cold water froze, not only the eaves hung up with ice skates, but even the window paper was condensed with layers of ice flowers.

Shen Fu learned from Chunzhi that his father was going to come to inspect his homework, and he was worried that he would be scared all night, and he wanted to get up early in the morning to review his homework, but when winter came, the inertia in people's bones was inexplicably stimulated, and he tossed a few times, but he couldn't leave the warm couch.

Ruiyun and Ruicai stayed in the house for a long time, knowing that Shen Jiafu's housekeeper was strict, and seeing that the hour was not early, Shen Fu was still lying on the warm couch, for fear that the master would come over without saying hello, so he begged for persuasion, and it took half an hour to drag Shen Fu off the bed.

When he got up, Shen Fu couldn't keep his spirits up, wiped his teeth with green salt, ate a few sips of tea casually, and then sat down without saying a word.

Kankan went through another stick of incense, Shen Fu had enough grinding foreign work, got up and changed into a set of regular clothes, selected an ancient book from the shelf as usual, and sat in front of the flat-headed desk in a daze.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw the scholar stumbling in smoothly from outside. Shen Fu stood up suddenly, and asked nervously, "But dad is here?" ”

Pingshun panted and said: "Son, come out quickly, otherwise, when the master comes, I see you in a daze, and I don't know how atmospheric I should be!" ”

Shen Fu was bored in his heart, waved his hand again and again to signal him to go out, and then quickly glanced at the ancient book of "University" and closed it again, and began to recite the words:

"The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. Knowing and then there is certainty, and then there is stability, and then it can be quiet, and then it can be peaceful, and then it can be considered, and then it can be obtained. ——Things have a beginning and an end. If you know what to do, you will be short. ——Those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world will rule their country first. Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families. Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies. Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts. Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere. If you want to be sincere, you should know it first. ”

Shen Jiafu walked in quickly, and saw that Shen Fu did not look sideways, his body did not recline, and he was working harder than usual, so he couldn't help but feel relieved, so he silently sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals to listen, and waited for Shen Fu to memorize several paragraphs before he interrupted: "You memorize the book very well, but how much do you know about this meaning?" ”

Shen Fu had expected it and seemed unflustered, "My son has an ugly opinion, I think that the whole article of "University" aims to teach people to be sincere and upright, self-cultivation and morality, correct attitude, and learn from things!" ”

After listening to this pair of answers, Shen Jiafu did not move at all on the surface, but was surprised in his heart, so he slowly put down the bowl he was holding, paced to the flat head case, and said seriously: "You have worked hard, but I don't know if you can make progress?" Last night, I often heard your mother raise you, saying that you have done a lot of articles on weekdays, and I just happened to be idle this time, so you can pick a few articles out and let me comment and comment! ”

Shen Fu listened, quickly gave up his seat, and hurriedly selected a few articles from a stack of articles and presented them to his father for reading.

Shen Jiafu saw that Shen Fu was moving quickly, and he thought that his son was growing rapidly, and he was anxious to show off to himself, so he was full of joy and picked up the eight-strand literary product to read, but before he could see it for a while, he couldn't help frowning. Further down the slow product, Shen Jiafu became more and more unhappy, and finally couldn't help but speak: "The text is in order, but the arguments are sparse, which makes people taste like chewing wax when they read it!" ”

Shen Fu listened with a sad face, and was unhappy to take over his work from his father's hands, savoring it word by word, reflecting on himself.

"This article is written smoothly, but it falls into a rut, and it is not a good article!" Shen Jiafu read the second article at a glance and ten lines, pondered for a moment, and continued to comment on Shen Fu's third article, "This article is full of articles, and it is not a good article!" ”

Pulling his beard, Shen Jiafu turned to the fourth article. This time, he read it carefully, so he smiled and said: "It's all like this one, don't come out of the machine, it makes people look refreshing, but you are not good at learning, although you have broken the topic and revealed the main idea, and the topic is connected to the next, you can start from the beginning, the shares, the shares, the back shares, and the bundle of shares are not very good!" ”

Shen Fu didn't dare to argue, so he had to nod his head again and again, expressing his agreement with his father's opinion.

Shen Jiafu carefully read a few articles in his hand, and then casually flipped through the rice paper that was resting on the side, and then put them all together and put them at the head of the case.

"In the past few months, my father has been busy with official duties, and I can't supervise your studies at home, you haven't neglected your studies, and my father is very pleased, as for the future, you must also persevere, not be unreserved, don't fish for three days and dry the net for two days, and live up to your father's hope for you!"

Shen Fuqing clasped his fists together and bowed his head humbly, "Father's teachings, son's heart!" ”

"You have only turned sixteen years old, and the road ahead is still very long, although you have fallen off the list in autumn this year, but this is the first time you have entered the list, you must not be discouraged and depressed!" Shen Jiafu's words were very gentle, changing the appearance of his usual strict father, and slowly enlightening Shen Fu, "The other is that you are the son of the Shen family, Xueru and Qitang are still looking at you below, if you have a future in the future, they will be proud of you, take you as an example, and be more diligent and progressive!" ”

Shen Fu lowered his head in shame.

When Shen Jiafu saw him like this, he knew that he shouldn't put too much pressure on the child, so he changed his words again: "Next year, my father will go to Jiangning Mansion to teach in the same year. At the beginning of spring next year, it is best to go to Jiangning Mansion with your father! ”

Shen Fu moved his eyes as he thought about it, and said, "The child obeys!" ”

Outside the study, Shen Xueru was lying by the window and peeking, Ziwei, Zihe, Ruiyun, Ruicai, and Pingshun shrank behind her and folded their shoulders.

It happened that Chen Yun crossed the threshold and saw it, so he stepped up from behind. Following the gaze of a group of people, Chen Yun saw that the father and son in the room were still asking and answering, and couldn't help muttering: "Uncle has a cold face, won't he be reprimanding him again?" ”

Shen Xueru heard the voice, looked back in surprise, and instantly put her mind at ease, and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten, Daddy has never come to see my brother!" ”

Chen Yun panicked in her heart, squeezed her head and looked into the room, which Cheng thought that Shen Jiafu had sharp ears and eyes, and immediately became angry, and glanced at it quickly.

The crowd panicked and scattered, leaving the window with only a small slit open.

Barely calming down, Chen Yun was still worried that Shen Fu would be scolded and scolded, so she covered her heart with her hand and leaned towards the window with courage. This time, there was no one in front of him to stop him, and Chen Yun just saw Shen Jiafu leave his seat in a good time, so he calmed down and slowly took a few steps back.

In an instant, the azure embroidered lotus stem lotus brocade felt curtain opened a corner, and Shen Jiafu was shorter, and he came out of the house with his feet in a dignified manner. Walking to the porch and seeing a group of people around the west window, Shen Jiafu was angry in his heart, and accelerated his pace towards the crowd.

Shen Xueru was afraid of her father's might, retreated in horror, and then barely calmed down, opened her cherry lips, and shouted timidly: "Dad!" ”

The rest of the maids and little servants shrank their shoulders and hung their heads, and they all said: "Master! ”

Chen Yun reacted a beat slower than everyone else, so she could only rush up a little bit, and said with a courtesy: "I've seen my uncle!" ”

Shen Jiafu raised his eyes, swept around with a cold gaze, and finally fixed his gaze on Chen Yun. Because he saw Chen Yun groveling, holding a number of courtesies, and seeing his graceful appearance and graceful appearance, he asked in a gentle tone: "You are Yun'er, right?" ”

Chen Yun blessed her body, and said softly: "Yes!" ”

Shen Jiafu's eyes were sharp, and he looked directly at Chen Yun, whose body shrunk slightly, "I often hear cheap Jing talk about you, saying how sensible you are, how to show off, it just so happens that I have been enjoying leisure recently, if you are willing to be close, you might as well sit in Luomei Courtyard in the afternoon!" ”

Chen Yun glanced left and right, and then replied with a sharp voice: "Thank you uncle for your kindness, Yun'er understands it!" ”

Shen Jiafu snorted in a deep voice, then walked to the door of Shen Xueru, who was full of panic, and opened his mouth to reprimand: "No big or small, Dad is teaching your brother to make a fuss, what are you doing to be busy?" Go back quickly, copy the "Female Commandment" ten times, and if you don't finish copying, you are not allowed to come out! ”

Shen Xueru pouted and wanted to beg for mercy, but when she looked up, she found that her father's face was extremely cold, so she had to reluctantly respond: "Yes!" ”

After Shen Jiafu reprimanded his daughter, he thought that he still had other things to do, and he didn't want to delay more work on his children, so he groaned and flew out of Luomei Courtyard with a brisk walk.

Shen Xueru's eyes kept rolling, and after seeing her father leave, she immediately exhaled as relieved, and said, "Dad is really, reprimanding my brother well, I'm just here to have a good time, as for the punishment is so heavy?" ”

"Who told you to be ill-intentioned and idle to look at my jokes?" Shen Fu held up the west window with a small bamboo pole and stood behind the window, "What is happening now, I didn't see it as a joke, but I became a joke in the eyes of everyone!" ”

Shen Xueru was fearless, glared at the triumphant Shen Fu, and said with a sneer: "Don't pretend, why did my father come back to test your homework, didn't he come and leave in a huff?" Just now I saw that my father was reprimanding you, so you didn't even dare to reply! ”

Shen Fu pretended to sigh: "That's really disappointing you!" Today, instead of reprimanding me, my father unexpectedly praised me, and said that I have made great progress in learning recently, and next year, he will send me to Jiangning Mansion to study with a teacher! ”

Shen Xueru frowned, and said angrily: "Red mouth and white teeth, God knows if what you said is true or false?" ”

"Dad hasn't gone far yet, if you don't believe me, you can immediately catch up and ask, I'm afraid, you don't have the guts!" Shen Fu said with a slight sarcasm, "Otherwise, a few articles that Dad just read are being placed next to the bookcase, you can also come in and take a look!" ”

"Who has nothing to do to read those heavenly books?" Shen Xueru was so angry that even her brows quietly shifted her position, "Your masterpiece, let's keep it for myself to appreciate, I have to rush back to my courtyard and copy the "Female Commandment" bitterly!" ”

Shen Fu lowered his head and sighed, and when he looked up again, he found that Shen Xueru had already led Zihe and Ziwei away, and Chen Yun was standing straight under the corridor and looking at him, so he smiled brightly and said to the slim Chen Yun: "It's freezing outside, Sister Yun, come in and warm up!" ”

Chen Yun glanced at him, then looked at the sleet blowing in the courtyard, and then hurriedly gathered his expression, tightened his cloak and walked towards the study.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Fu was quick to enter the house, and while greeting him with a smile on his face, he stuffed the gilded hairpin flower sea beast baby play picture hand stove to Chen Yun.

Chen Yun took it casually, and it was still hot to the touch, so she asked with a smile: "Your house has always been warm, when will you still use this?" ”
